DONG ZHI（冬至）

Dong Zhi is the thanksgiving of the Chinese calendar. "Dong Zhi" literally means "arrival of winter". Coinciding with the winter solstice, it is an occasion for the family to get together to celebrate the good year they have had. Tang Yuan (汤圆) is cooked and eaten to symbolise unity and harmony within the family. Dong Zhi occurs 6 weeks before Chinese New Year and would normally fall between 21st Dec and 23rd Dec.


ORIGIN
Winter solstice signifies the beginning of winter. The sun is at the Tropic of Capricorn and this results in the longest night of the year for those living in the northern hemisphere. The festival began as a farmer's festival to celebrate year-end harvest.

CELEBRATION
Dong Zhi is a time for family reunion. Tang Yuan, sweet soup of glutinuous rice flour balls, is indispensible during this festival. "Yuan" (literally meaning "round") signifies "yuan man" (complete / 圆满 ) and Tang Yuan means "tuan yuan" (family reunion / 团圆 ). Eating Tang Yuan is symbolic of family unity and family prosperity.

For good luck, families prefer to have some pink tang yuan to mix with the white ones.

好的爱情和坏的爱情是很容易分辨出来的

好的爱情使你的世界变得广阔，如同在一片一望无际的草原上漫步。

坏的爱情使你的世界愈来愈狭窄，最后只剩下屋檐下一片可以避雨的方寸地。

好的爱情是你透过一个人看到世界。

坏的爱情是你为了一个人舍弃世界。

好的爱情，能够让本来没有理想没有大志的你，变得有理想和大志，本来偏激的你变得包容，本来骄傲的你变得谦逊，本来自私的你变得肯为人设想，本来没有安全感的你，变得不再惧怕。

坏的爱情与这一切全然相反，你唯一可见的将来就是爱情，没有别的可恋。

好的爱情让你时刻反省自己付出的够不够多，使你不害怕老去，因为即使年华老去，你也不会失去对方。你不会担心十年后，你们的步伐不一致，因为你们携手漫步在草原上，而不是在屋檐下避雨，当雨停了，也就没必要相依下去。

[ 痛 心真的很痛
也许是跌得太重了吧
所以还会心痛 ]

说不伤心是骗人的吧
毕竟我不是拿得起放得下的人

一段时间过去了
所发生的也无法再改变
但我还是无法阻止自己不流泪

原以为泪水会带走一切心疼
但每一次的每一次
更让我看到了自己的愚蠢与失败

心痛 真的很痛很痛

为什么会如此差劲
为什么在最紧要关头怯场了

痛 心真的很痛
也许是跌得太重了吧
所以还会心痛

【也许不流泪的感情人人都想要, 却就是学不会经营之道。。。幸福怎么会不用付出就能得到】
